[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 834740, member: 13050"] That must be terrible, so you actually end up suspecting everything and everyone :) . Do you think it is possible to lay a curse on someone across the seas or must you have met the person personally :P . I find this interesting, could it not be a case of more 'bringing it on oneself'. There are a lot of superstitions here in S Africa, probably one of the most common is the Tokoloshe - "The Tokoloshe is popularly believed to be short, ugly, and pot-bellied; his arms are so long that his knuckles drag on the ground as he walks, and his a penis is so large that he needs to carry it slung over his shoulder. He is also believed to lack thumbs, and the reason for the 'African handshake' is said to be the belief that if someone can capture a Tokoloshe, he will have lifelong health, wealth and happiness. The handshake, therefore, is to check if the person being greeted has thumbs." Some people even put their beds on bricks as they believe the tokoloshe won't be able to get to them. :? :lol: [/QUOTE]
